For teachers

He aha te kai ō te rangatira? He kōrero, he kōrero, he kōrero.
What is the food of the leader? It is knowledge. It is communication.

The Waimakariri Libraries team can visit your school or preschool by arrangement, or you can bring your students into the library. Depending on the age level, we could run a storytime session or book talk to extend and inspire your students’ knowledge of books and reading. The library also has a range of high-quality, online resources available for students of all ages which we are happy to demonstrate.

To assist teachers, Waimakariri Libraries have a feast of resources available to help teachers feed students who are hungry for knowledge. We have prepared some lesson plans, how-to guides and activity sheets for you to download and use with your class.

Check out our latest newsletter to learn more about how we can work together.

To book a class visit, get in touch with us via learningconnections@wmk.govt.nz and please include your preferred date, time, location and duration you'd like us to visit for.  Alternatively, you can call us on 0800 965 542 and ask for Learning Connections Coordinator Jason Clements.

With your food basket, and my food basket, the people will thrive.
